Broken/Updated Mods, Dec. '15 update only
I'll keep this updated with names of broken and fixed mods (not CC or mods that change game rating) after the December 4, 2015, patch. If you have a dead mod, please add the name of the mod and, if yo...

Thank you, @cherpar, @ENolan, @DevilNDisguise, @Pegasus143, @instantmess, @RacerX780, @stilljustme2, @erica_rodrigues!
@Nancy01905, I thought that tanja's Abduction mod was already broken by an earlier patch? What aspects of it are working for you?
@ChelleJo, which No More Auto Drinks mod is that? Is it one of Madame Butterfly's? If so, it would be the Fogity Hidden Highlight that's broken.
@OJenn, a lot of mods seem to be breaking beds; I wouldn't be surprised to see a bed mod object break. You might want to post in GD to see if anyone else has issues with that one, in case it's another cause.
@wazergeek, I gather you had a folder problem with game updates. Those happen sometimes - we see that very occasionally in the tech/bugs forums - but they are not deliberate. They aren't even a Maxis thing: it seems to be an Origin bug. You can report it to wherever EA has people report bugs with the Origin software. Maxis and EA are very supportive of game mods and CC, and are actively working with the modding and CC community. Immediately on patch release, they provide all sorts of fresh info for modders. And just yesterday @SimGuruModSquad - Maxis staff whose job includes this - said that in order to further improve their ability to keep CC working post-updates, please let him/her/them know about CC that isn't working after this update. You have a beef with an Origin bug, not a Maxis practice; please take it to Origin.
@AgeOfJo3, lots of mods have the bed thing as a symptom. Pull out all the ones listed here as broken. If it's still a problem, you've got yet another broken mod (or more) you can identify. Re. the AI problem, there are Bugs forum topics about that; it can be caused by multiple broken mods, but many people without mods also have AI problems right now. So if you can't pull mods and see it solve (start with this list, but I know it's not complete), head over to Bugs.
